Ferrari F12 Berlinetta 1/7

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

February 29th is a rare day, being quadrennial. But it’s made a rarer day altogether when Ferrari decided to reveal the first official pics of its latest and fastest stallion to date, as it did yesterday, with the F12 Berlinetta.

Designed to replace the almighty Ferrari 599 GTB, which held the previous lap record on the Maranello Fiorano circuit, the F12 Berlinetta has already achieved its goal with a record-breaking time of 1’23,” while looking all the more beautiful doing it.

Ushering in a new generation Ferrari V12, the shapely F12 Berlinetta packs a superb 730 bhp under it’s generously scooped hood that will hurl the girl from 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds and on to a top speed in the region of 212 mph.

Italy’s next top model is set to make its public debut at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show, but you can flick through our gallery now for all the pics from its first photoshoot.
